WEEKLY TIMES, Jil VOUCH E a- JOUSSOS. Entered at tlie postoflioe at McDonough Ga., as second-class mail matter. * . —- McDonough. Ga., Mat 1, 1891. Numbers of visitors will doubtless attend the closing exercises of McDon ough Institute. Clean up, paint up and fix up your premises before the time arrives. No enterprise should be started in a town without enlisting the co operation aud kind words of the entire people. Kind words do a power of good, but croaking will hinder aud work evil. Dy cultivating cordial feelings of friend ly identity we can infuse a spirit of lo cal patriotism that will beget harmony, strengthen energetic purposes, and acheivf wouderful success. The fore going is wise counsel from an exchange which we cordially commend to our readers. Oar Favorites. Wedo not Kke to boast of our own accdhtplishments, but the followiug items are from our favorite exchanges, and we must be pardoned for luauife* ting our appreciation by reproducing them: “The Henry County Weekly is one of the best weeklies in the state. It came out last week all *liome print and was full of good reading.’’—Madi souian. “The Hknky County Weekly 'is one of the neatest papers that comes to us. Its typographical appearance aud general get-up reflects great credit on its publishers, Messrs. Fouclie and Johnson."—Thomasston Times. Bound Views. Governor Nortben sees danger ahead. In a recent article he says : “We are rapidly coming to a ism and destroying the principles of,re publican government when a few men of self-constituted authority assume' to make opinions for their fellows, aud dictate public policy that others must blindly indorse and pursue. Great principles underlie and uphold the fab ric of successful government. They cannot be disturbed by designing men if the people are alert aud watchful. Everything is not progress that claims to be. There are mauy false lights iu reform, as there are many quacks in professions. There are many pigmies among statesmen who have more lungs than brains, and many importers anidtjb ministers who have more mouth than morals.’’ What It Costs Must be carefully considered by the great majority of people, in buying eves necessities of life. Hood’s Sarsa parilla commends itself with special force to the great n.iddle classes, lie cause it combines positive economy with great medicinal power. It is the only medicine of which call truly lie said “100 Doses One Dollar,” and a bottle taken according to directions will aver age to last a month. In Memory of B. F. Barham. Hampton Lodglc, No 17C3, K. of 11. April 25, 1891. Whereas, God iu his alwise provi deuce, has seen fit to take Irotn oar midst our Bro. B. F. Barham, on April 18th, 1891. By his death a thrill of sorrow has l>een sent through our heart, falling with crushing weight upon the hearts of his loving wife and devoted children, who have been be reft of a fond and affectionate compan ion, and a kind and devoted father; but in the midst of our sorrow we gather comfort from the fact that he had registered his bereft ones among the widows and orphans of tins noble order of Knights of Honor, whose mission of love and charity has been sent to comfort the troubled aiyl dis tressed widows aud orphans all over our land. Therefore, be it Resolved, Ist. That we mourn aud sympathize with the family in their great bcreavment on account of the irreparable loss of a husband aud fa ther, may they bear this great alflictiou with Christian fortitude, looking unto and trusting in the great God of mer cy and love, who has promised to be a husband to the widow and a father to the fatherless. Resolved, 2nd. That in the death of Bro. Barham we feel that the brother hood has lost oue of its most devoted members in whose heart the interest of the order hail a constant abiding place. Resolved, 3rd. That these resolu tions be transcribed on a blank page in the Lodge Journal and the family be furnished with a copy, and that they be given to the county paper for pub lication.

We also recommend that the Ordinary see the railroad authorities and have them put plank at every public cross - ■ ing, inside and outside, the same to lie I kept in good conditioif | We recommend that the public privy now on the northeast corner of the jafe lot he moved and placed a few feet belrtw the calalioOse, a little south from tka northwest corner, and put boxes : under them so that they can be clean ed ; also, that boxes be placed under the sewers that run from the jail, and the refuse running from jail he kept from running down to street, and that the Ordinary employ some one to clean the boxes at least every two weeks, and that the sam* have an enclosure around it. , We recommend further that the County Judge’s salary for ctimiual business bo S2OO per annum, instead of $Ut», and we request our Represen tative in the legislature to have an act passed fixing said salary at S2OO. We recommend tho Ordinary to fur nish Charles Sloan (colored) and fun ily provisions for four or five weeks, until they can make their own support. This is brought about by afflictions iu his fam ly.

I'OOU FARM. We beg leave to make the following report. \\ e find all the buildings in a fair condition, also find the inmates perfectly satisfied in every respect. We have every reason to believe they are well carred for. We recommend that there be an other chimney put at the keepers house, aud that all the new dwelling houses be painted with two coats of paiut; and that the keeper be furnished with a good wheel barrow for the benefit of the place; and that the keeper also be furnished with a journal and ledger so that he may keep a correct account of all income and expenditures of the farm.

After a careful examination we find the books and papers neatly and cor rectly kept, with proper vouchers for all money disbursed, and with a bal lai.ee of cash on hand of $10,171.75. We also find the books of the Coun ty Court kept in a neat aud business manner, and we feel proud of our very efficient Judge, Jas. H. Turner.

We find the Sheriff has all the dock ets that the law requires, and that he has kept the same neatly and according to law, having made all entries in the different dockets.

I would further recommend that Ibccoun- i ty lie laid off in sihool districts, that we j may have regular, tong term schools and employ Hie host teachers, looking well to the improvement of our children, thus showing md appreciation of the liberal ap propriations, together with flier interest the general assembly of the Slate and ear Hou- I oruble State School Commissioner have rnaaitested in this grand work of educating the voting. , Hoping this may meet with your approv al, I remain yours most respectfully, Jams* 0. Daniel, County School Com’r Henry County. We recognize the fact that there is a defect in our public schools, resultiug from the existence of too many of such schools iu some neighborhoods. Where schools are more numerous than the real needs of a community require it is not so apt to command the services of etfi cient teachers. It many times hap pens that where a good school is in op eration, with a patronage sufficient to command the services of a teacher well qualified it is very much crippled by the establishment of smaller schools iu the immediate vicinity. We recom mend to the proper authorities the pro priety ot having as few public schools as are ample to meet the needs of the country, believing that this wifi insure the establishment of better schools. We fuither recommend that the Ordinary levy a tax of not more than 30cts on the hundred for county pur poses. We recommend that these preseut rnents be published iu The Henry County Weekly and also in the Hampton Hustler. Roth papers to receive SIO.OO each. In taking leave of Jtis Houor Jas. S. Boynton we desire tV ex press our full est appreciation of kindnesses that he lias shown us during this term of the Court, and the courteait* extended to our body and the able manner in which he has conducted the present term of the Court. We also return thanks to Solicitor General Emmet Womack for his many attentions to this body. Also to Col Dismitke for his cousel and co operation in the prosecution of our du ties as Grand Jurors.
